Ok, I know some of you drive/have 914s and 911s. As this is a 914 forum everyone, I'm sure, has a strong opinion about their 914s. I'd like to hear some. What are the advantages of the 914 over the 911. Why did you choose a 914? $$$?, the people?
I know that people tend to dog the 914. Since I bought my first 914 in October I have growing respect for it. But now I have a chance to get a 911 for a good price, but I still day dream about my 914. Hmm...maybe I should keep both...naw, too expensive. Seriously, I'd like to hear what people think of 911s compared to the 914. |

I have tracked a stock 2.0/4, a 3.0/6 and an early 911 3.0 and 3.6.......personally I have come close to killing myself in the 911. The 911 can be evil.....the 914 is more predictable in sliding thru the turns.....at least to me.....
I am an "OK" driver......the 914 is more forgiving. Manfred will be a 2.0/6 with an "S" 180 hp motor......not a slouch but enough to be challenging. I leave the heavy high horsepower rides to the younger more talented drivers. For the street....nutin' beats the 3.6 powered early 911.....but I will still fire up the 914 for the canyons.....
